This cake for my brother's girlfriend was one of my most fun cakes to make to date. It's based off of the viral YouTube video featuring the Nyan Cat. True to form, I made sure to use a cherry Pop Tart for it's body which I had a friend confirm that it was definitely a cherry pop tart and not any other flavor.
My favorite part was waiting for her to cut open the cake to reveal the rainbow center. I used my go to white cake recipe, divided the batter into six separate bowls, and added a few drops of dye to each bowl. To save myself time, instead of baking six separate layers, especially given I only have 2 8-inch pans, I layered 3 different colors in each pan. I made sure to pour the batter of the top layer (red, orange, yellow) in reverse order because I knew I would flip it over when I stacked/frosted the cake.
This cake definitely brought back a lot of cake methods/tools I haven't used for awhile to save on some time as I have been busy. Come to think of it, I haven't made a decorated cake for quite some time! I used my tylose powder/water glue to hold the fondant to the pop tart. I used the paper towel method to smooth the frosting. I used food color markers to outline the cat for the 8-bit look. I used my clay tool for all the fondant pieces that required even lines.
